British Government Announces £50m Competition for Digital Pathology and Imaging
The government will provide funding for up to six specialist centres focusing on digital pathology or medical imaging, as part of the drive to make the UK a world leader in the field
The government has launched a £50m competition, aiming to build a network of digital pathology and medical imaging centres.
The competition, run by Innovate UK, is part of the drive to make the UK a world leader in digital pathology and radiology, using AI to analyse medical images, which has the potential to diagnose disease more accurately.
The government hopes to establish up to six centres focusing on digital pathology, imaging, or both. The government envisions the total cost of each project to be between £14m and £20m, and “businesses could attract up to 70% of their eligible costs”. It is open to any UK-based business, NHS organisation, hospital, research organisation, charity or Academic Health Science Network, which can then work in collaboration with others.
